Second Fraser barge erupts in flames

Many New West residents watched as plumes of black smoke billowed from a barge on the Fraser River on Tuesday for the second time in two months.

Fire broke out on a barge at Schnitzer Metal Recyclers at about 5 p.m. A fire at the same location spewed smoke into the air on Aug. 10, causing Metro Vancouver to issue an air quality warning.

“Last time was so bad,” tweeted New West resident Kailie Crosby. “Definitely lucky to not be getting too much smoke.”

While Metro Vancouver did not issue air quality warnings in response to the

latest fire, a spokesperson with the Surrey Fire Department said the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority harbour master was checking water quality.

On Tuesday, a fireboat from Vancouver was called in to help knock down the flames aboard the barge located just east of the Pattullo Bridge. As fire crews were responding, some expressed concern and frustration on Twitter about the fire. “I hope for everyone’s sake they have their operating permit revoked,” said New West resident Matt Lorenzi on Twitter @stickers66.

“Once is one thing.This is bush league.”

Second urban solar garden being launched Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is rapidly warming up to urban solar gardens.

With the city’s first urban solar garden now in place on the roof of the Queensborough Community Centre, the city is launching a public subscription period for a second urban solar garden photovoltaic array.That one will be located on the roof of the engineering operations building at the city’s works yard.

Norm Connolly, New Westminster’s community energy manager, said the city didn’t know how sales were going to go when it offered subscriptions for the first solar garden.

“The response by the community was pretty strong,” he said.

“The panels got subscribed within three weeks once we started, and a waiting list appeared.”

When all 156 panels at the Queensborough solar garden were quickly snapped up, the city started a waiting list for local residents interested in subscribing to a potential second array.The initiative allows residents, businesses, nonprofits and institutional organizations served by the New Westminster Electrical Utility to buy a solar panel and use the energy generated by the panel as credits toward

their power bills.

“We are allowing more time this time around for the subscription period and will keep the pre-sales period open until we are fully subscribed,” Connolly said. “Staff will proceed with final engineering and construction planning for the second array as soon as we reach the 75 per cent subscribed mark. Staff anticipate a good level of interest from the community, as there

are already 11 people on our waiting list.”

When developing its first urban solar garden, the city selected the Queensborough Community Centre as the location of the first urban solar garden but also determined the city’s works yard would be a suitable location. Prior to the installation of the solar garden, some repairs to the building’s roof will be done this fall.

If the second solar garden is successful, more projects could be built in the future.

“The third option might be the city hall rooftop, once that’s been reroofed,” Connolly said.

Rod Carle, general manager of the electrical utility, said the new high school and the Canada Games Pool replacement may have interest in a solar roof.

“There has actually been some

business interest over in Queensborough on large roofs. I think, as we move forward, the interest is just going to continue to grow,” he said. “We are always looking.”

Pre-sales, in which people subscribe to the city’s second urban solar garden at the civic works yard, are now underway.

Details are found at www.energysavenewwest.ca/urban-solargarden.

“Eligibility requirements have not changed, and reserving space in the new array is as easy as last year,” Connolly said.

“Interested subscribers just need to complete an application form and submit a $500 per-panel deposit to reserve up to 10 panels.

It is anticipated that the final perpanel cost will be between $810 and $860 per panel.”

Energy Save New West’s website is now live with a number of enhancements, including: updated information on the planned second array at the civic works yard; a link to digital video documenting installation of first solar array in Queensborough; a link to energy production dashboard from Solar Edge which tracks energy generated by the solar panels at the Queensborough Community Centre.

Police recover most of 54-40’s stolen guitars Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The investigation continues into the case of a Canadian rock band’s stolen guitars.

On Friday, 54-40 issued a public plea for the safe return of seven vintage guitars and an undisclosed amount of equipment, all of which had been stolen from a cube van parked overnight in front of Queen’s Park Care Centre, 315 McBride Blvd.

The musical instruments and equipment were believed to have been taken from the van sometime between midnight and 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 5, according to a press release.

There was a break in the investigation on Sunday, Oct. 7, when New Westminster police received a tip from someone in Surrey who thought they’d seen the missing guitars near a storage facility in the area, according to Sgt. Jeff Scott.

“Because of the media attention, that person believed they may be the same guitars.Therefore, reported it to us,” Scott wrote in an email to the Record.

Later that day, officers executed a search warrant at the Surrey storage facility and located five of the stolen guitars along with some equipment, he added.

The recovered instruments included a 1957 Fender Esquire electric guitar, a 1974 Fender Jazz Bass, a 1966 Fender Stratocaster, a 1966 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard and a 1954 Gibson Florentine Electric Mandolin.

No arrests have been made, as police are still trying to identify a suspect, according

Music to their ears: Two of the electric guitars recovered by police. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

to Scott.

The guitars still missing meanwhile are: ! Gibson SJ200 acoustic guitar serial # 877023 with aftermarket Fishman sound hole pickup. Some finish checking. It was in

a poly acoustic case. ! Gibson Dove acoustic guitar with aftermarket LR Baggs sound hole pickup. It has average wear and was in a poly acoustic case.

“The two outstanding acoustic guitars are fairly generic looking, but we are hopeful that someone may see them on an online selling platform, or in a pawn shop,” Scott wrote.

The band was offering a $5,000 reward for the safe return of its stolen equipment and instruments or information leading to their safe return.

Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity or knows anything about the equipment is asked to call the New Westminster Police Department at 604-525-5411 (file 18-19100) and Allen Moy (54-40 management) at 604-761-2025 or email info@5440.com.

“54-40 thanks the public in advance for any assistance solving this crime,” said a press release. “The instruments are irreplaceable and hold great value to band members beyond their monetary worth.”

Despite the loss, the band, which was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame’s Star Walk in 2017, went ahead with two sold out shows at the Commodore Ballroom on Friday and Saturday nights.

The band, consisting of Neil Osborne, Brad Merritt, Matt Johnson and Dave Genn, is known for hit tunes including I Go Blind, One Day inYour Life, CasualViewin’, One Gun, Ocean Pearl, and LoveYou All.

Prolific thieves sought Police are searching for two men they believe are behind a number of thefts in New Westminster.

The two men are 31-year-old Sean Trevor Cuddeford and 30-year-old Leroy Curtis Catcheway. Police say Cuddeford is wanted on arrest warrants for break-and-enter and theft over $5,000, while Catcheway is wanted for auto theft, possession of stolen property and prohibited driving.

Police say they’ve seen a rise in theft from vehicles, with many of the thefts targeting unlocked vehicles.

“We want to remind the public to lock their car doors and keep valuables out of their vehicles,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in a press release. “Mr. Cuddeford and Mr. Catcheway are alleged to be prolific property crime offenders and are believed to be in the New Westminster area.They have several warrants out for their arrest in New Westminster and in surrounding jurisdictions.”

Meeting planned to talk renoviction solutions Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An upcoming meeting is taking aim at renovictions that are displacing New West tenants from their homes.

The Vancouver Tenants Union, ACORN and the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union are joining forces at an information meeting about local renovictions and the rental situation on Sunday, Oct. 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Royal City Centre mall. People who live in apartments that have been up for sale or recently sold, residents concerned about renovictions and wonder what they can do, and those concerned

about the current housing crisis are invited to attend.

“We are working toward getting control on this renoviction situation,” said John Rethmetakis of the Vancouver Tenants Union.

“It is a three-pronged presentation on renovictions and affordable housing.”

The meeting follows up on an information meeting hosted by the Vancouver Tenants Union in New Westminster in August regarding the renoviction issue.

“We are inviting people in New Westminster to come and be informed.There’s lots of tenants here whose buildings are being affected,” Rethmetakis told the Record. “There’s a lot of

stress going on, especially for seniors because they’re not aware of what’s going on.”

New Westminster residents Rethmetakis and David Hendry are also working to start a New West chapter of the Vancouver Tenants Union.

“There really are no renovictions in progress right now, but there is constant buildings that are in the process of being sold,” said Rethmetakis, who lived in a building that was targeted for renovictions in May. The meeting will take place in #202 – 610 Sixth St. It’s a vacant retail space on the second floor of Royal City Centre mall, near Walmart.

The Network Hub will be hosting our monthly Networking Event: 810 Quayside Drive #205

If the City of New Westminster wants to expand voting opportunities in the civic election that’s up to city council – but it won’t happen in time for this year’s civic election.

Longtime New Westminster residents Keith Gagne and Diana Carr recently voiced concerns that they would be out of town for most of October, meaning they won’t be able to cast votes in the Oct. 20 election or in the three advance voting days on Oct. 10, 13 and 17.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Enforcement plan lacking in pot legalization rollout The rollout of federal marijuana legalization appears to be moving without proper planning for enforcement of drug-impaired driving, a recent story in The TriCity News suggests.

In the article, it was noted that a roadside screening device for cannabis is being touted while serious questions remain about its reliability.

Some police departments are declining to use it, including NewWestminster’s, which prefers for the time being to use its own sobriety

test and trained experts.

Drug-screening devices will be deployed to RCMP detachments, but in limited numbers, and it’s not known whether RCMP will be among them, but it is likely local Mounties have their own experts and sobriety tests.

The question is whether the equipment is adequate to the task – that task includes identifying impaired drivers but, just as importantly, not taking licences or freedom from those who don’t deserve it.

The question is whether the equipment is adequate to the task.

Police are right to adopt use of devices slowly and to question whether they are reliable because defence lawyers are already preparing cases that could get their clients off as a result of doubts about these systems.

And according to a lawyer well-versed in these is-

sues, these devices appear clunky and could produce false positives.

One problem is how invasive they are and how long it takes to get a result. For example, a person has to swab their own mouth for a few minutes – time-consuming and awkward at best, espe-

cially if someone is impaired – and then the sample has to sit level for a period of time to get results.

There is also inadequate public information about how marijuana metabolizes in the body and how long someone needs to go without ingesting the drug before they are safe to drive – one hour, two hours, overnight?

These questions and others need to be fully addressed before we implement measures that could affect people’s freedom and

even jobs.

And while legalization of marijuana is scheduled for one week from today, it is truly untested ground for British Columbians who need and want assurances that they will be safe on the road and safe from unfair prosecution.

The federal and provincial governments need to step up their communication of this impending issue while ensuring that test cases don’t end up making drug-impaired driving enforcement a useless task.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Can climate plan offset LNG deal?

The announcement that LNG Canada is giving a green light to a mammoth $40-billion investment is great news for the B.C. economy, but if you think that is a big deal, wait until you see the BC NDP government’s climate plan in which that LNG project will have to fit.

The plan, to be released later this fall, is expected to contain some ambitious plans on how to achieve 75 per cent of the target of reducing B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by the year 2030 (compared to 2015 levels).

The LNG Canada project alone will boost emissions by 3.45 tonnes a year (and twice that when the second “train” of the project comes online), which means emissions in other areas have to be drastically curtailed.

To accomplish this lofty goal, the government will bring in a host of measures and incentives.

One example is increasing the number of electric vehicles.

The senior civil servant who briefed me said the price of an electric vehicle would gradually decline to the point where it will equal the price of gasoline-fuelled vehicles by the year 2025.

If that becomes reality, purchasing an electric vehicle will be a no-brainer.

Of course, it is unclear whether car manufacturers can produce enough electric vehicles to match this kind of target, but there is still a lot of time to ramp up production.

Another example is convincing home dwellers to

switch to electricity and away from natural gas and oil to heat their homes.

Heat pumps will also be offered as part of an incentive scheme.

Can the government tremendously ramp up the production of electricity to meet the hoped-for rise in demand of it?

The Site C dam will undoubtedly help, but the government is going to have to dive headfirst into things like constructing wind and solar panel farms.

All of these planned changes have to occur over a relatively short period of time and involve a huge number of people making lifestyle changes.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Richard Rhodes has pointed out in his latest book – Energy:A Human History – that major changes in energy consumption occur over a long period of time (for example, it takes about 100 years to go from zero to 50 per cent market penetration).

Of course, we have been blessed with clean hydroelectricity for decades, so it is not as if we are starting at the beginning.

However, Rhodes notes that it can take a long time to build the required infrastructure.

The vast majority of British Columbians will never visit LNG Canada’s facilities, but you can be sure they will be touched in significant ways by a climate plan that will allow that project to flourish.

Teacher takes aim at board A New Westminster Teachers’ Association member accused the school board of not putting its money where its mouth was. At a committee meeting, Bob Parsons said, where budget considerations were concerned, the board was at odds with its own policies and guidelines. “Policy that is not mirrored by commitment is a sham,” he told trustees.

He pointed to board goals around computer technology that were inoperable because of a lack to funding.

“What you have today is a computer program in chaos.We have students being trained on IBMs, Apples and even Commodores,” he said.

Q to Q: The ferry service to Queensborough has been extended into 2019 PHOTO RECORD FILES

Q to Q is being set up for failure by the city Editor: Re: New Westminster extends Q to Q ferry, Record, Oct. 4.

It seems to me that city hall is again setting this service up for failure. When the first pilot project for the ferry service was announced, I voiced concern that weekends-only would not give true numbers of ridership. Finally, over this past summer, a proper service was provided. Currently, the mayor and some councillors are saying positive things, but after two years they still don’t have the answers and more fact finding is required.

Now residents wanting to use the service will need to make a reservation the night before or no service will be made available. This in itself raises one of many questions. Perhaps the Record can provide us with more information? How many riders need to make a reservation before a trip

is cancelled? Will there still be two boats or one?

This is important because two boats will provide guaranteed 15-minute service, whereas one boat will take longer and offer fewer trips during the two-hour commuter period.

The story tells us that there is feedback that some want the service to start earlier, so why is it starting at 7 a.m.? Did the project manager contact schools to see if students knew about the service? Were businesses approached about partnerships? How did the city come to a $300,000 budget? How much of the budget is going to the project manager and administration? Who or where is the push back on this service coming from? The Record story tells us that the ferry operator has been providing valuable feedback to the project manager and yet (the story) has no information or quotes from Bowen Land and Sea Taxi.

With proper management and corporate sponsorship through advertising, this service could take a lot of traffic off the Queensborough Bridge and give a much-needed alternative to the river crossing. We have almost $6.3 million coming from the Starlight Casino and if the city can throw millions of dollars at the Front Street project, they can and should provide more money for the benefit of Queensborough residents.

City wants to reach out Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is working on ways to reach out into the community and engage with citizens.

The city continues to work to implement a public engagement strategy that was approved by council in December 2016. In addition to continuing to implement the strategy’s recommendations, staff are beginning to develop an internal policy that will guide the city’s public engagement processes in the future.

“It’s been a couple of years since the public engagement task force completed its work with a series of recommendations,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “We continue to work through those recommendations and make improvements in our public engagement process.

I think we are starting to see the results of that.”

Cote said the city is trying to find ways of reaching out and having more engaging conversations with community members.

“I think public engage-

ment is going to be an ongoing effort,” he said. “It is going to be an effort that all cities struggle with: how do we have good conversations with our residents and how do we have conversations that are reflective of the population as a whole?”

Through a three-year action plan, the city is implementing short-, medium-

Engagement is going to be an ongoing effort. and long-term priorities between 2017 and 2019.

Some of those priorities include: training city staff on public engagement; creating a staff consultation and events calendar, which is one of the new resources being developed to support engagement activities; and developing a civic education and leadership program for residents between 13 and 30 years old to help build relationships with underrepresented communities.

As part of a pilot pop-up engagement plan, the city has hired and trained 12 new auxiliary staff pop-up ambassadors called Community Connectors.The team has been out consulting about various items, including the Q to Q Ferry launch and the city’s cannabis regulations.

Coun. Mary Trentadue said she can see public engagement is now becoming integrated into the city and how it operates. She said she likes the pop-up city hall engagement model.

“With regard to the popup city hall, I really like this model. I think it has worked well,” she said. “We still need to work at getting into places where we can communicate with people that don’t generally communicate with us. I know that some of the examples you have given – various festivals or various city events – I think that’s wonderful, but I also wonder if sometimes we need less of a reason to be somewhere and maybe just show up at Moody Park on a warm Saturday or another park in the city.”

LOCKDOWN

Police search for gun-toting man Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A rifle-toting man evaded police Tuesday night after triggering a lockdown at Royal Columbian Hospital.

The incident began at 10:20 p.m., when New Westminster Police Department got a call about a man carrying a rifle in the area surrounding the Sapperton SkyTrain station. Police say they also received a report that it seemed the man intended to sell the rifle.

The man was then spotted entering Royal Columbian Hospital near the facility’s underground parking lot, so police set up a “containment area” around the hospital, according to Sgt. Jeff Scott.

The hospital was placed on lockdown while local officers,Transit Police, Coquitlam and Surrey RCMP along with the Integrated Police Dog Service searched the hospital, he added.

Nearby parking garages were also searched.

“An extensive search of

the hospital and surrounding parking garages was conducted to ensure the safety of staff and patients; however, the male was not located,” read a press release.

Investigators are looking at surveillance footage to determine what happened.

“Our investigation into this incident continues,” Scott said in the release.

“It’s with good reason that the safe transportation of firearms is a matter we take very seriously.We’re asking for public assistance in passing along any information, including photo or video footage they may have of

the suspect.”

In a statement from Fraser Health, the health authority confirmed access to the hospital had been restricted for about an hourand-a-half from 11 p.m. on Tuesday to 12:30 a.m.

Wednesday while police conducted their search.

“Occasionally, we must restrict access to a hospital to ensure the safety and security of staff, patients and the public,” read the statement. “Last night’s issue was resolved quickly, without incident. Patient care was not impacted by this, and the hospital remained fully operational.”

City COURT

Dealer pleads guilty after selling fatal dose Teen girl died after taking MDMA bought from street dealer Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A Vancouver teen who sold a 13-year-old Port Coquitlam girl a deadly dose of MDMA has pleaded guilty to drug trafficking.

The charge stems from an incident on July 15, 2017.

At around 7 p.m., two girls, ages 13 and 16 years old, bought drugs from a streetlevel dealer at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station in New Westminster.The pair consumed the drugs, which were MDMA in powdered form, before boarding a bus home to Port Coquitlam.

After getting off the bus, the 13-year-old went into medical distress. A passerby called 911, and the girl was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital. She died in hospital.

According to police, a

toxicology report confirmed the girl died from a lethal dose of MDMA. No traces of fentanyl were found.

The 16-year-old, who had also ingested the drugs, did not suffer the same adverse effect, according to police.

Following an investigation by the New Westminster Police Department’s street

crime unit, with assistance from Coquitlam RCMP, Transit Police and the Vancouver Police, police arrested a 15-year-old on Aug.

24, 2017.

Last week, the teen, whose identity cannot be revealed under theYouth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in a controlled substance.

“This was a tragic and heartbreaking case.We hope that the family of the 13-year-old girl is able to get some sense of closure and peace after this very challenging time,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott, in a press release.

“We encourage all parents to have an open dialogue with their teenagers about the risk of drug use.The (department’s) child and youth resource unit works with youth and families to understand these risks.”

The accused is scheduled to return to court Jan. 15, 2019 to be sentenced.

A CLOSER LOOK

Because it’s 2018

Is it time for NewWestminster to have a council and school board that reflect the city’s diversity?

A special report by Theresa McManus and Julie MacLellan

!

Walk around the streets of NewWestminster, ride its buses, eat in its restaurants, and, wherever you go, you’ll see the faces of diversity.

Based on 2016 census data (see graph on page 13), 39 per cent of the city’s population is from a visible minority population; taking into account the city’s 3.3 per cent Aboriginal population, that brings the total up to 42.3 per cent “non-white” residents.

Yet that diversity is not reflected among the city’s elected officials; not a single current member of council or school board is from a visible minority population.

This year’s crop of candidates, however, is setting out to change that. And they’re hoping, when the polls close on Oct. 20, city council and school board will look more like the city’s population.

The Record set out to find out just why the issue of diversity has become so important in the 2018 campaign – and what it may mean for citizens of NewWestminster.

cials, especially in NewWestminster, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of visible minorities,” he said. “One of the values that I have when it comes to government is that I think it should represent the community makeup.

In NewWestminster, 40 per cent or so are visible minorities. It only makes sense that our elected government reflects that.”

Sy laughs that his own ethnic background is a very particular niche – he’s from Newfoundland, but his parents are of Chinese and Filipino descent.These days, he considers himself very much a NewWestminster resident, first and foremost.

“I’m a NewWestminsterite who happens to be a Filipino-Chinese Canadian,” he said.

His heritage his important to him – “My parents raised us always to not forget our roots,” he said – but he doesn’t intend to make it a part of why he believes people should vote for him.

“If you look at Canada, everybody is really an immigrant,” he said.

F

or candidates on the NewWestminster and District Labour Council-endorsed Team Cote – which is fielding seven women and five men, including four visible minority candidates – the issue of diversity is front of mind for this campaign.

Nadine Nakagawa, who’s running for council with Team Cote, said she sees a THE TIME IS NOW huge change over four years ago. ould 2018 be the moment when it “There is a lot more diversity, and the changes? quality of the diversity of the candidates is Troy Hunter, a member of the really strong this time,” she said. “I volunKtunaxa First Nation, thinks so.

a meeting at city hall where she saw only a couple of women on council, and no people of colour.

“I have a daughter, and I want her to be able to imagine to be mayor of someplace.

Whether she chooses to or not, I want the possibilities to be open for a woman of colour,” Ansari said.

“I didn’t think about a lot of these things until I had a daughter.You don’t really realize these are the boxes that you view around your reality until you have a little person, and you’re trying to make them grow as big as they can be.”

The idea might have only remained a thought in the back of her mind had Ansari not been approached by incumbent councillor Mary Trentadue about the possibility of running. At first, Ansari said, she just listened politely and then went home with no intention of saying yes. But once she told her husband about the opportunity, he reminded her how often she talks about the need to open up options for women of colour.

So she agreed.

Being on the campaign trail has been eyeopening for Ansari – mostly in a good way.

What she’s realized, though, is how few people actually know how underrepresented visible minority populations have been.

Ansari’s search led her to only two visible minority trustees in the past:Vasant Saklikar and Cindy Grewal.While that might make sense in smaller towns with mostly Caucasian populations, Ansari said, it makes no sense in New Westminster.

For Ansari, it’s not an issue of whether the existing non-minority officials have done a

good job (“I love the council that we have,” she said).What it is, rather, is a case of “they don’t know what they don’t know.”

She uses the analogy of walking to the SkyTrain late at night.

“It’s the end of a dark street and you’re alone. As a woman walking down that street, it’s a lot different than a man,” she said. “As a person of colour, that darkness, that feeling of being vulnerable, expands out to your entire existence in North America.”

Members of visible minority communities need to be there to bring that unseen perspective to the table, Ansari said. And they also need to be there to signal to the wider community that they are an integral part of life in this city.

“My main purpose was to show people that women who are minorities, that we exist out there, that we are doing good things in the world,” she said. “My community needs to know that women like me exist in it.”

That message is especially important to young members of visible minority communities, who may be questioning their place in society and who need to see visible role models, Ansari said.

“I feel like the person I am kind of running for, in my head, is that South Asian 12-year-old sitting there and wondering why everything about her is so different and how she’s going to find her place in the world,” Ansari said. “If I can make life easier for that one girl, that one 12-year-old, then I have met my goal.”

What difference does diversity make? We asked an expert

S

o why does diversity matter? For Sanjay Jeram, a senior lecturer in political science at Simon Fraser University, the arguments in favour of more diversity among elected officials can be divided into two distinct pieces: policy and philosophy.

For the first, he said, there’s a camp that argues in favour of diversity because it’s important to policy outcome.

“If, for example, you have more females … do we find a tangible change in the actual policy base about, for example, things around social welfare, paternity leave, maternity leave?”

The same goes for ethnicity: will having more people of colour change the actual agenda?

Thus far, Jeram said, research shows the answer is “kind of mixed.”

“It doesn’t have a conclusive, straight up-and-down finding,” he said. “It’s not as if it’s a home run that if you have more diversity, you have a more diverse range of issues that make the agenda.”

But, Jeram noted, it’s logical to suggest that having leaders who represent a small segment of the population – largely white, middle-class males – means those leaders have a narrower field of

view about what issues are important.

“We think about policy mostly through our lived experience. To me, that’s a logical reason to believe diversity matters,” he said.

For instance, Jeram said, on issues such as affirmative action, a white male might not see why a change in policy may be necessary. White males also tend to be better off economically, he noted, which leads to its own set of issues: “How can we possibly expect them to consider issues of affordable housing?”

It’s logical, he said, that members of visible minority communities will have other

viewpoints to bring to politics.

“If you have that lived experience, you’re more likely to bring that experience to the table,” he said. he other argument in favour of diversity is a more philosophical one, and that’s the argument that suggests that seeing diverse faces in elected office is empowering for members of visible minority communities.

“Seeing representation in one’s representative; does it mean something for one’s competence and belief in the democratic system?” Jeram said.

That belief, he said, is something not necessarily based in

T

substantive research. But the idea that people feel empowered and are therefore more likely to become involved is a compelling one for many voters.

Jeram pointed out increasing diversity – whether that’s gender or ethnic diversity – is only part of the question.

The other is what and who, exactly, those “diverse” representatives are there to speak for.

“Are women supposed to represent women? Are minorities supposed to represent minorities?” Jeram said. “Can we ascribe a separate, specific role to these people?”

Moreover, he pointed out,

it’s difficult to expect a representative to speak on behalf of a community.

“Sometimes viewpoints within a community are very diverse. It becomes problematic when you attach a proscriptive label,” he said. “The assumptions are grand when you start assuming people are going to act a certain way.”

Jeram said there’s a dearth of research about local-level diversity but added it’s clearly an issue in diverse municipalities around Greater Vancouver, where visible minorities are underrepresented. !

Business Cartwright Jewelers celebrates milestone Council Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Customer service may be what keeps customers coming back to Cartwright Jewelers year after year, but a gem of a sale is what will get them lining up down the street this week.

Cartwright Jewelers is celebrating its 85th anniversary by holding a half-price sale from Oct. 11 to 13.

“It’s just kind of a thankyou to our customers,” said owner Susan CartwrightCoates. “It is a genuine sale.

If you were in the store two months ago and saw this item and it was $1,000, it will be half price at $500 when you come in for the sale.”

The annual anniversary sale attracts big crowds, with folks lining up along Sixth Street to get inside and check out the deals.

“It’s everything you see in every showcase. It’s a genuine sale,” said CartwrightCoates. “As well, we have what are called door crasher specials.There’s a different one every day for the three days.”

James Daniel Cartwright founded Cartwright Jewelers in 1933, after apprenticing as a watchmaker. Son Don eventually took over, and Don’s daughter Susan eventually took the helm of the family business.

Cartwright Jewelers was originally located on Columbia Street, but moved uptown in 1965.The store has always specialized in fine jewelry, but other items – including watches, china and other giftware items – have been sold through the years.

“You have to stay relevant,” Cartwright-Coates said. “Fine-quality jewelry stays relevant so there’s many designs that have stood the test of time and still continue to be available, but on the other hand you need to always be sure you have a fashion forward foot, so that you can capture all generations of jewelry needs.We do stay current by going to various jewelry shows and exhibits through all over North America.”

Treating customers like family is the key to Cartwright Jewelers’ success,

approves 20-seat brewery lounge Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

FAMILY OWNED: Susan Cartwright-Coates is a third-generation owner. PHOTO RECORD FILES said Cartwright-Coates.

“Most of our new business today actually comes from our online reviews. I never really paid much attention myself until I started realizing how horrific reviews can be. Ours are really great,” she said. “Custom-

er service – it’s about treating the people who come through the front door like you’d want to be treated and make sure they have full knowledge of what is happening. No surprises – we are big on no surprises. It’s just making sure they are

included in every decision about their jewelry or their purchase.”

Once the sale wraps up, Cartwright Jewelers will be renovating the 2,000-square-foot space at 639 Sixth St. and introducing some new lines.

Another Brew Co. has received the city’s blessing for a 20-seat brewery lounge.

The brewery, which will be located at 11-30 Capilano Way in the Braid Industrial Area, will be able to operate from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.The owners have applied to the province for a manufacturers’ licence, which would allow the company to manufacture beer and provide free samples to the public for tasting.

Council approved a motion recommending issuance of a brewery lounge licence to Another Beer Company.

It will become the second brewery operating in New Westminster.

Community

Knitters pay tribute to veterans with poppies Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Poppy Project is getting set to bloom once again in New Westminster.

Two years ago, a group of local knitters started a community art project that involved knitting, crocheting or felting poppies that would become part of a blanket that could be displayed in New West for Remembrance Day. Last November, the blanket consisting of hundreds of poppies was part of a display that made the rounds of a number of local venues, including the Armoury, River Market and Royal City Centre.

Reena Meijer Drees, who helped spearhead the initiative, said the project has received a generous donation of red sheep’s wool from West Coast Colour.

“Now we are set for the next two years of the wet felting sessions,” she said.

“We are hoping to hold three public felting sessions so that people from the

public can come by, drop in and make a poppy for the blanket.”

Volunteers of all ages are invited to attend upcoming free wet-felting sessions where they can make poppies for the blanket.

The first is set for Saturday, Oct. 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St.The second is

It’s about those stories, so we don’t forget that. on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr. “It’s completely open. All the material is provided,” said Meijer Drees. “It will be supervised.We will show you what to do. It takes maybe 15 to 20 minutes to make one.We have all the materials there – all the wool, all the embellishment materials like buttons if you want to jazz it up.”

Organizers are also working to host a third session in October, but the date and time are yet to be confirmed.

“They will be added to the blanket,” Meijer Drees said of this year’s poppies.

“The blanket is going to get bigger.”

The poppy has been a symbol of Remembrance since the First World War, after Lt.-Col. John McCrae was inspired to write In Flanders Fields after seeing poppies growing among soldiers’ graves in Belgium.

“It’s really nice when you are doing them.We have been asked by one of the veterans’ homes to come in and make them.We are really keen on that.What we’d really like is to sit down and hear the stories of people, what connects people to these poppies,” Meijer Drees said. “It’s about those stories, so we don’t forget that. It isn’t about the poppies – it’s about those stories.”

While poppy production slows down in the spring

REMEMBRANCE: Community members are invited to attend sessions where they can make poppies that will be added to a blanket that’s been created through the Poppy Project. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED and summer, some folks have continued to make poppies and drop them off at CosyYarns and Gifts in River Market. Anyone who has made poppies for the

blanket is welcome to drop them off at CosyYarns, which is also planning to hold poppy-making sessions.

The Poppy Project is also

working on plans to once again display the blanket at local venues in time for Remembrance Day. For more information, go to www. thepoppyproject.ca.

Film fest set to bring the world to New Westminster

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New West Film Fest invites community members to enjoy a diverse and inspiring lineup of films at this year’s festival.

The film festival takes place from Friday, Oct. 19 to Sunday, Oct. 21 at Landmark Cinemas in New West.

The festival’s board of directors and volunteers have put a lot of time of preparing for the event and prescreening more than 3,000 submissions from more than 80 countries.

“What we are looking to do is be the filmmakers’ film festival,” said programmer Craig Hopkins. “Previously, I produced short films and have been on the other side of the film festival process.

What I found was it was difficult to get in, especially for Canadian festivals, and it was expensive.This year we have reduced submission fees to zero dollars.That increased our submissions to over 3,000.”

By allowing filmmakers to submit films at no cost, organizers believe it opens the door to people in places

who may not have access to funds to reach out and apply to be in the festival.

“I think we are putting New Westminster on the map,” Hopkins said. “I am really excited about that.”

The New West Film Fest kicks off on Friday, Oct. 19 with Talk!, a documentary by local filmmaker George Orr about talk radio in New West. Opening night also includes guest speakers and a post-screening party.

“We’re excited to share a new uniquely New Westminster film with our audiences,” Hopkins said of

NOW $960,000!!!

Talk! “This is a piece of the New Westminster story that needs to be shared.”

Saturday’s lineup includes Truth Detectives, a documentary about how new technological developments are helping to bring to justice those who violate human rights, as well as Detainee X, a drama about a MuslimAmerican teenager who is unlawfully arrested and taken to a secret prison where he is tortured for information on a pending terrorist attack he claims to know nothing about.

“It’s definitely not one to

bring the kids to,” Hopkins said. “It’s an important film.

It feels very current.”

The short film showcase, featuring local and international films, returns by popular demand on Sunday, Oct. 21. Filmmakers have been invited to attend the screening, which will be followed by a Q&A. Being Rachel, a Canadian documentary about youth with developmental disabilities who are struggling to mount a play about their lives, closes the festival.

“It’s a powerful film. It’s an excellent film,” Hopkins

said. “We are really proud to be showing this film.”

Arts & Entertainment

Serving Our Community Since 1908

Family ties: Royal Canadian Theatre Company is staging Arsenic and Old Lace at the Anvil Centre Oct. 18 to 20. The classic black comedy is best known from the 1944 Frank Capra film.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Classic comedy onstage A classic black comedy is coming to the stage at Anvil Centre this month.

Royal Canadian Theatre Company is staging Arsenic and Old Lace in New Westminster from Oct. 18 to 20, followed by shows at the Surrey Arts Centre Oct. 26 and 27.

The play – best known from the 1944 Frank Capra film, starring Cary Grant – tells the story of Mortimer Brewster, a happy man who heads home to announce his engagement to his fam-

ily. But there’s a catch: his family is, well, crazy. And in his attempt to keep his fiancée safe from his homicidal aunts, an uncle who believes he’s Teddy Roosevelt and another who doesn’t look quite like he used to, Mortimer starts to lose his own sanity.

The Royal Canadian Theatre Company production features a return of the trio of Steve Weller, Michael Charrois and Jacqueline Becher, who were a hit in the theatre company’s 2016

production of ItWas a Dark and Stormy Night.

It also includes the talents of two New Westminster actors: Kurtis Maguire, who plays Dr. Einstein, and Rob Larsen, who plays Mr. Gibbs and Mr.Witherspoon. Steven Simpson is Mortimer, and Amanda Prasow is his fiancée, Elaine.

Tickets are $28 general, $20 for students and seniors, or $75 for a family four-pack.

Community El Santo hosts fundraiser for autism awareness Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

El Santo is raising money and awareness about autism at its signature event.

The Columbia Street eatery is holding its third annual el Santo CAN fundraiser for the Canucks Autism Network on Sunday, Oct. 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. Attendees are treated to food and cocktail specials created especially for the fundraiser.

“The event is basically people having fun.We have music, we have live entertainment, we have a silent auction, we have a live auction,” said Alejandro Diaz, managing director of el Santo. “We raise a little bit of awareness, but we are having fun.”

The fundraiser features a seven-course dinner with drink pairings and guest speakers who talk about autism.

“It’s raising awareness,” Diaz said. “Raising funds is great, but raising awareness is the most important thing.”

In the past three years, el

Santo has raised more than $30,000 for the Canucks Autism Network through the dinner, $1 donations from each item sold on the kids’ menu and other initiatives. Canucks Autism Network provides sports, recreational, and social programs for individuals and families living with autism.

“One of my kids is on the spectrum. For me, this is why it’s very important to do this,” Diaz said. “I really like to tell people about autism.There are lots of people that have no idea.

They think an autistic kid is someone who is non-verbal, who can’t talk.”

According to Autism Speaks Canada, autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, speech and non-verbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. It notes that the term “spectrum” reflects the wide variation in challenges and strengths possessed by each person with autism.

“There are so many Parkers,” Diaz said. “Sometimes as parents we don’t want tell people that our children are autistic because there is a stigma. It’s really important to tell people.”

Along with working to reduce the stigma and increase awareness of autism in the community, Diaz tries to do that at el Santo.

“For me, hiring people on the spectrum is so important because it creates a feeling of empathy. In restaurants – especially the kitchen – it’s a very rough environment,” he said. “For me, we have an environment that is very inclusive.”

Diaz doesn’t hire employees specifically because they have autism, but he doesn’t avoid hiring them because they’re on the spectrum.

Like other hires, employees with autism are interviewed and go through the regular hiring process to ensure they’ll be a good fit in the restaurant.

“We want to set them up for success. I don’t want to hire someone just because he’s autistic,” he said. “We

can hire people with experience, but if they don’t have the right attitude it doesn’t work. As long as someone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, has the right attitude, we can make it work.”

The annual fall fundraiser takes place on Oct. 21 – the

day after the municipal election, in which Diaz is seeking to become a school trustee in New Westminster.

“One of the reasons I want to run for school board is because this is so important to me,” he said.

“There were so many things that happened when Park-

er was little that really broke my heart.There are so many Parkers. I want to make sure that all the Parkers feel welcome.”

Arts & Entertainment Canadian classic gets new life for WOW theatre series Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

An epic Canadian chronicle is getting new life from Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays.

The fringe performance series, which runs Wednesdays in the back room at the Heritage Grill, is taking on Susanna Moodie’s Roughing it in the Bush. Episode 1 is set for Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.

Moodie’s journals, which have become a Canadian classic, chronicle the adventures of the upper-middle-class Englishwoman, a published author in her homeland, who emigrated to Canada in 1832 with her husband and their baby.

For the WOW performance series, the text has been adapted for interpretation by, and commentary from, women from the region’s diverse creative communities in various genres – theatre, storytelling, comedy, circus, dance and puppetry.

Episode 1 will feature

three readers who themselves are all transplants to Canada: Nic EnrightMorin, originally from the U.K.; Fiona Koski, from Australia; and Marylee Stephenson, whose roots are in California.The three will lace the readings with their own insights about leaving “home.”

Each episode will be underscored with live music from creative producer Devon More, and audience members are invited to stay around after the reading to participate in a discussion about the text and themes.

“When I discovered the journals of Susanna Moodie, I was immediately struck by her rich imagery, dry humour and high-stakes adventure,” More said. “I was also somehow shocked that I had never come across her work before. It is so beautifully entertaining, but also a hugely important text with which we can explore modern questions of post-colonialism, reconciliation, immigration and prejudice.”

Future episodes are planned for November. Epi-

Onstage: From left, Nic Enright-Morin, Marylee Stephenson and Fiona Koski are featured in Roughing it in the Bush. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

sode 2, on Nov. 7, will feature actor-writer-puppeteer Tara Travis, while Episode 3, on Nov. 28, will feature actor-creator-producer Jess Amy Shead.

Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays shows start at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended; call 604759-0819. All performances are on a pay-what-you-want basis. See www.facebook. com/wayoffwed.

ART BY THE RIVER Art lovers, be sure to stop by the Network Hub to check out the latest from New West Artists.

The artists’ group has a Celebrating the River exhibition underway until Oct.

24.

It features river-related work by Julia M. Schoennagel, Lavana La Brey, Julie Epp, Janet Kvammen, Art by Jordie, Candice James, Jacky Hosford, Faye GordonLewis, Una Polenova and Mariette Leppert.

Coming up from Oct. 25 to Dec. 6, the art group will present its Black & White show and sale.

The Network Hub is on the second floor at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr. You can stop by any of the art shows weekdays between noon and 5 p.m. See www. newwestartists.com BE AN ARTIST Anyone can be an art-

ist, and the first step is to be brave.

With that motto in mind, artist Seth Macbeth is inviting local residents of all ages to stop in to The Gallery at Queen’s Park for a creative collage workshop on Sunday, Oct. 14, running from 1 to 5 p.m.

Participants will get a short introduction to the elements of design – line, shape, space and balance – with examples of work.

Then they’ll be challenged to follow three five-minute exercises that push people to trust their instincts and be brave with their choices – each exercise creating a four-by-six-inch collage card. Using methods from those exercises, the class will then do three more fiveminute exercises based on different themes.

“Each person leaves the workshop with six completed works of art, and the courage to take risks and explore creativity,” said a write-up from the gallery.

Macbeth’s work is on display in the gallery in the exhibition Page to Page – Building New Worlds, Ex-

ploring New Depths, Oct. 3 to 28.

Interested? The gallery is in Centennial Lodge, Queen’s Park. For details, see www.artscouncilnew west.org or call 604-5253244.

“We’re incredibly excited to celebrate this important milestone with the community we’ve helped build for over 90 years,” CEO Karin Kirkpatrick said in a press release. “FSGV has proudly served several generations of families in Vancouver, and we hope to

continue being in the community’s trusted safety net for many more years to come.”

WHAT DOES THE AGENCY OFFER IN NEW WEST? Money raised at the fundraiser will allow Family Services to continue delivering programs and services to families and youth in need through more than 90 programs, including initiatives addressing the needs of at-risk youth, victims of domestic violence and families in need of support.

Arts Anonymous Art Show returns to 100 Braid Street Studio will once again host a show of unidentified artworks for International Artist Day The Arts Council of New Westminster is getting a boost from this year’s International Artist Day Anonymous Art Show.

The arts council has been chosen as the charity of choice for the show, meaning proceeds from sales at the second annual event will go towards the arts council’s work on its mission of “bringing community together through the arts.”

The money will support the arts council’s work in the visual arts community, including its ongoing programming at the Gallery at Queen’s Park – such as the Inter/Action artist learning series and the Gallery Sessions monthly concert series.

The International Artist Day Anonymous Art Show, running Oct. 25 to 28 at 100 Braid Street Studios, will feature more than 100 artists exhibiting on 12-by12-inch canvases.

All works are signed only on the back, and works will be contributed by both wellknown and emerging artists.

“The anonymous nature of the show ensures that all the art is treated equally and that the excitement of the unknown adds a special anticipation and excitement to the event,” a press release says.

The International Artist Day Anonymous Art Show opens with a gala on

Community FAMILIES

Your kid’s online too much?

Well, don’t blame Fortnite Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Some parents are all too familiar with Fortnite – their kids begging to upgrade their noobs with new skins, beating their besties in a Battle Royale showdown and celebrating a Victory Royale win with a feverish “Floss Dance” or “Orange Justice” jive.

It’s no doubt that Fortnite is the most popular game today, but is the trending phenomenon primarily to blame for the bans and digital dangers facing today’s youth?

I think not.

For those parents who have yet to succumb to the craze, Fortnite is an online video game in which players battle in a fight for survival against other participants, hoping to be the last player standing. As players complete challenges and earn experience points, they level up to higher tiers, earn new characters and dress them up in new cosmetic goodies that give them more power and prestige in the online battleground.

With nearly 80 million players as of August, Fortnite is emerging as the most-played game in the world. But the game’s explosive growth isn’t the only highlight hitting headlines lately.The game has been deemed a cause for concern, cautioning parents to be wary about the dangers that can result from the digital download.

First, Fortnite was called out as the main cause for the gaming ban enforced by the management team of the Vancouver Canucks,

who, after a lacklustre season, decided that the younger players needed to unplug while on road trips to keep their minds on the game.

Then, a story emerged about a series of recent arrests that had been made against predators who attempted to lure minors through the game’s online chat function – thankfully, police intervened by posing as online participants.

Fortnite has also been noted as the main cause of hundreds of divorces, putting online gaming addiction in the spotlight when it comes to the dissolution of marriages in this digital age.

While I agree digital addiction is a dangerous and growing issue, I don’t think that any one game, device or platform is to blame.

The problem isn’t the game itself, it’s the inability to monitor and manage the time consumed by the digital devices on which the games are being played.

Kids are definitely spending too much time in front of screens, but Fortnite isn’t at fault for their digital addictions.Video games have been vying for the attention

of children for more than 50 years. I can still remember staying up late playing Asteroids on Atari, and then Super Mario on Nintendo.

And while managing screen time was easier when the games were played on large consoles that were plugged into large living room TVs, today’s more portable gaming devices can still be managed and monitored.

It’s time for parents to stop playing the victims and recognize that the game is a tangible thrill that can be taken away.

Don’t let your child’s download be an afterthought. Do your homework and establish control from the beginning. Set time limits, ensure that the security settings are properly activated, and if the rules aren’t followed, disconnect their devices.

Until a game is developed that you can’t physically take away, the onus is on the parents to take control.

Arts & Entertainment Poet laureate explores New West in literary offering jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Tip for book-loving reporters:When you receive review copies of new books, don’t start reading them at your desk on work time.You may get distracted and start missing deadlines.

Two new works from local authors crossed my desk earlier this year, and I encourage fellow word-lovers to seek out copies of both.

THE NARROW ROAD TO THE FAR WEST First up, it’s a new collection of poems from the city’s poet laureate, Alan Hill. The Narrow Road to the FarWest:Travelling NewWestminster By Postcard, recently released by Silver Bow Publishing, is described by the author as his “very personal tribute to some of the places that have meant most to me in my time living in New Westminster.”

Each poem is its own literary “postcard” to a uniquely Royal City location – some well-known, like the petting farm at Queen’s Park, the Tin Soldier and

River Market, and others of a less-travelled variety, such as the dollar store at Royal City Centre and the Great Clips on McBride Boulevard.

The poems include both elegant imagery and a sense of the humour and absurdity of day-to-day life.

Like this moment from Centre Span, Pattullo Bridge …

“It is the bruised skin of something extinct that has been stretched, pulled tight across the high-rise limbs of the city.”

Or this, from Old Crow Café, Front Street …

“I left with a quadrupole Americano, a tattoo of a raven on my thigh the feeling, it may not be too late, to learn the banjo, run away, join the circus.”

read.

You might bill it as a literary love letter to the city, of sorts – recognizing its quirks and cracks and foibles but embracing all the life and humanity within.

Check out www.silverbow publishing.com.

HIDER/SEEKER The second literary offering that arrived at my desk was the recently released Hider/Seeker, a collection of short fiction by New Westminster author Jen Currin.

Currin, who teaches cre-

ative writing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, has released four previous collections of poetry, including The InquisitionYours, which won the 2011 Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry, and School (2014), which was a finalist for three awards.

This is her debut collection of fiction.

“These stories are about addiction and meditation, relationships and almostrelationships, solitude and sexuality,” says a release from Anvil Pres. “These sto-

HE COULDA BEEN A CONTENDER: The 1988 mayoral race in New Westminster fea-

tured The Bear for Mayor. Local restaurateur Bob Hooey, who was known to his regulars as Cubby the Bear, had some company on the campaign trail – in the form of a bear. He chose Cubby the Bear as his mascot, saying he brought attention, as well as a sense of affection, sensitivity and closeness often lost in community members’ hectic lives, to the campaign. With Cubby’s help, Hooey focused on issues like revitalizing the downtown core, cleaning up Columbia Street, tackling traffic, addressing growth and helping New Westminster avoid becoming a bedroom community in the Lower Mainland. Betty Toporowski won the election in the end. Hooey received 127 votes. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Community Forum looks at city’s ‘cultural metamorphosis’ Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An upcoming forum at Douglas College will take a look at the “cultural metamorphosis” that’s underway in New Westminster.

Douglas College, Simon Fraser University and the City of New Westminster are joining forces to present an upcoming Urban Challenges forum at Douglas College – Balancing Act: Revitalization Without Gentrification.

“The physical landscape of New Westminster isn’t the only thing changing,” said a press release about the forum. “With a boom in development, the city is going through a cultural metamorphosis – one that isn’t welcomed by all. How can a community evolve to appeal to new buyers and businesses without pushing longtime residents out of the very place they call home?”

Mike McPhee, an instructor in the department of geography and the environment at Douglas College, is the event’s moderator. John Stark, the city’s senior social planner, and Tiffany Muller Myrdahl, a senior lecturer in the Urban Studies program at Simon Fraser University, will be presenting at the forum taking place on Wednesday, Oct. 17 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Douglas College, Room 2201, 700 Royal Ave. THE GREAT FIRE – THE AFTERMATH This month’s New Westminster Historical Society evening will be taking a look at the aftermath of the Great Fire of 1898.

The free presentation – New Westminster’s Great Fire of September 1898: Help After the Fire – is on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Century House, 620 Eighth St. Most of New Westminster’s downtown was destroyed by fire on Sept. 10 and 11, 1898.

“This presentation will look at the assistance that came to the city’s aid, the relief centre that was created to serve the damaged community, and some of the procedures used by the city to begin to recover,” said a press release about the event. “It will also include relief examples taken from the actual files that recorded names, addresses, losses, remaining possessions, and requested assistance, financial and otherwise.This is

very much a look at the human side of this major event in New Westminster’s history.”

Everyone is welcome to attend, and pre-registration isn’t required.

GET PUNCHY AT CENTRE’S GRAND OPENING Everyone is welcome to attend the check out the Parkinson Wellness Centre in Sapperton at its official grand opening.

Folks of all ages are invited to attend the free event that includes a ribbon cutting, tours, a reveal of the centre’s new logo and website, a silent action, prizes and giveaways, food and more.

Larry Gifford, a CKNW program director who was recently diagnosed with young onset PD, is one of the day’s guest speakers.

You’ll also be able to take part in an Art of Boxing art installation/fundraiser. Inspired by the art of Ushio Shinohara, and the fact that one of the centre’s core programs is Rock Steady Boxing New West, for $20 a punch folks can help create a large canvas for one of the centre’s walls.

People can also participate in the Push-ups for Parkinson’s fundraiser by gathering pledges to raise funds for programs for people living with Parkinson’s.

You can contact parkinson swc@gmail.com for more information.

Robyn Murrell opened the ParkinsonWellness Centre, which is the first of its kind in B.C. It offers a variety of programs for people living with Parkinson’s, including family and friends, in one location.

The centre’s next program is taking place on

Sunday, Oct. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Delta.The program,The Return of the Snow Geese and other Migratory Birds, features a “walk and talk” led by SFU professor and New West resodemt Rob Butler. “Thousands of migratory birds spend time in the Fraser Basin each year, including the famous Canadian Snow Geese,” said Stephen Bruyneel, executive director of the Fraser River Discovery Centre.

“We feel very fortunate that Dr. Rob Butler will be joining us at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Delta to lead us through what should be a fun and fascinating afternoon looking at these geese and other birds.” Tickets are $5 per person or $15 per family, and include entrance to the bird sanctuary.

SNAPPED Views of the city

New Westminster residents have been out and about with their cameras at all times of day, in all seasons, snapping their favourite views of the city.

Among the numerous offerings to our Snapped pages we have (clockwise from top left): 1. Donna MacLean loves how many opportunities the Mighty Fraser provides for taking photos.

2. A photo of autumn colour, by 14-year-old Quayside resident Ted Kadonoff. “I think fall is really pretty too, and I’ve always loved the leaves,” Ted wrote in an email to the Record. “I typically just take the photos on my phone, but sometimes I use a proper camera I have.”

3. Look up, way up. Former New Westminster MP Paul Forseth took this shot of a construction site in the Quayside neighbourhood in April, where a portable bathroom was perched at a “precarious height” for construction workers. Good eye, Paul.

4. Dale Bottle shot the newly constructed stairs leading from Columbia Street to Front Street, below the parkade, last October.

Royals’ colour initiative a matter of the heart Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Mikaela Montagano’s grandfather has always been close to her heart.

But when the first-year centre for the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team takes to the pitch at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park to warm up for the team’s games Saturday and Sunday against Vancouver Island University and Capilano University, he’ll be right over her heart.

Montagano, as well as her teammates and coaches, will all be wearing brightly coloured T-shirts during pre-game warmups to show their support for various causes, with the names of the people they’re playing for who may be affiliated with that cause written on the shirts in Sharpie.

Montagano’s grandfather, Giuseppe Zuccaro, died two years ago of cancer. Her Tshirt will be bright pink.

And while pink is specifically linked to breast cancer and Zuccaro was afflicted with prostrate and bone cancer, Montagano said her

choice is meant as a general shoutout to anyone with the disease, no matter where it’s landed.

Montagano said her grandfather’s home, just four doors down from her own on Sprice Avenue in Coquitlam, was like a second home to her and her two younger siblings. An Italian immigrant, he took great pride in his expansive garden where he grew everything from tomatoes to grapes and beans to figs and even lemons from a special lemon tree he’d brought over from his homeland.

Whenever a crop was ready to harvest, the grandchildren were called to help.

Except for the figs, Montagano said. Her grandfather insisted he climb the ladder to pick those because the task was too dangerous for kids.

Zuccaro built his own sprinkler system to ensure the health of his garden.

And when he’d host Montagano and her family for dinner, most of the bounty on the table was homegrown.

Montagano said she learned a lot from her

grandfather like humility, the value of hard work and pride in doing a job well. She carried those lessons with her onto the pitch as she rose through soccer’s

ranks with her club team, Mountain United, and her high school side at St. Thomas More in Burnaby.

And, more often than not, when she had success in a

game, Zuccarro was there on the sidelines or in the bleachers, cheering her on.

Montagano said she sometimes feels her grandfather’s presence when she’s

on the pitch for the Royals, who are ranked ninth in the country and will get a chance to play for a national championship as the tournament’s host in November.

“He said he could do anything,” she said. “Now he’s looking down on me and I can do this for him.”

Montagano, who will also honour other family members and friends who’ve had an encounter with cancer by writing their names on her T-shirt, said athletes are in a unique position to promote awareness for various issues. And if one person at the Royals’ games this weekend is motivated to reach out and help because they saw players wearing pink for cancer, orange for MS or red for HIV/AIDS, then the team’s ShowYour Colours initiative will have been a success.

The Royals’ host VIU at Town Centre Park on Saturday at 1 p.m.Their game against Capilano on Sunday at Town Centre Park will also be at 1 p.m.The men’s games will follow on both days at 3:30 p.m.
